TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JQHN GREENWALD, of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Compound-a Cathartie for Medicinal Purposes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and clear description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying sample.

My invention relates to a new compound to'entirely supplant castor-oil in all the various purposes to.which it has heretofore been applied medicinally.

Take ten grains of compoundv extract of colocynth, dissolved in six fluid drachms of glycerine, to which i i i must be added two fluid drachms of some flavoring-sirups.

The advantages over cas'tor-oil are that it acts with equal kindness, and but half the quantity for the desired effect is required. It acts with more certainty, and is comparatively very palatable.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The compound as specified, for the piirposes set forth.

JOHN GREENWALD.
